It looks like we have a respite from the #RocketAttacks from #PalestinianIslamicJihad for now. 🙏

The #FlagMarch through Jerusalem will take place later this week. Two years ago, this prompted a conflict with #Hamas and given that the march will run through the #MuslimQuarter (thanks to the far right politicians in our government), I'm expecting a conflict with Hamas at the end of the week.

For now, at least, it's quiet. 🇮🇱

In the old city of Jerusalem
I joined a food tour of a Muslim quarter
A taste of hummus and tahini
A chance to explore, an opportunity
To wander away from the beaten paths and explore
